“Colonialism is a terrible bane for a people upon whom it is imposed, but a blessing for a language. English’s drive to exploit the new and the alien, its zeal in robbing words from other languages, its incapacity to feel qualms over the matter, its museum-size overabundance of vocabulary, its shoulder-shrug approach to spelling, its don’t-worry-be-happy concern for grammar—the result was a...

and these are but the outer fringe of His works

“Death is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered. He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; He suspends the earth over nothing. He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight. He covers the face of the full moon, spreading His clouds over it. He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness....

onething 2010

I went to the first few onething conferences…back in the day. I will never forget Delirious? leading us into the new year, singing “and here we see that God You’re moving / a mighty river through the nations / when young and old return to Jesus / fling wide your heavenly gates / prepare the way of the risen Lord” Haven’t really thought about attending in recent...

I was looking at my profile from a site I haven’t used in two years, and I was just floored by how blessed I am today. “Passion for Jesus, Compassion for People.” Currently studying in —, but the whole world awaits me. In the future, I hope to visit Italy, live in Buenos Aires and serve Latin America in general. No puedo vivir sin ayudar a los que no tengan los mismos...

finally

Had an amazing evening at F’s junior high holiday concert. I think it was nice for his mom to not have to go alone, since her husband hasn’t been able to return home yet. There is something so exciting about being in a packed room full of beautiful faces, where I happen to be the minority. I felt so proud to be counted among the family and friends of this community. I finally felt...

Watch

Watch this visual of Nathan Chud’s poetry! It’s worth every second. See the entire text here. My favorite parts are below: I’m constantly dividing between the voices in my head. Discerning what is conviction, what is accusation, and what is simply empty tradition in my exhausted conscience. I feel compassion in the depths of my soul, but I have learned to quiet it in order to...
